Robert SchiIling.

Mr.. Schilling spoke 10 a fair-sized
audience in the courtroom last Thurs
day afternoon aud evening. He began
his remarks by stating that history had
repeated itself in the way in which the
world has looked upon the leaders OF any
radical reform All great inventors
have beenealled crazy. and philanthropy
lists cranks. He said ae did not believe
in the ..good old times. but thought
the world was better to-day than it has
ever been, and that this Is the best coun-
try in the world. He believed, however,
that both the times and the country
could be improved upon, and that people
who live five hundred years hence will
look down upon us with the same pity
ing contempt which We feel for the ig-
norance and barbarism of five hundred
years ago.
He defined Anarchy and Socialism,
disclaiming any belief in or sympathy
with the former, and accepting only that
part of the latter that advocates govern
ment ownership and control of railroads,
telegraphs, etc.
The Knights of Labor he says propose
to deal with things as they are, and
try and make them better. There
is nothing extreme or impracticable
about their plans. The speaker then
went into the details of the plans, and,
as he calls them, demands OF the
Knights of Labor. His points against
convict labor and the employment of
children under fifteen years old in work
shops and factories, were well taken
and nobody disputes them. A univer-
sal eight-hour system, however, is Mt
present impracticable.
Much that he said was good, but
some was clap-trap. All talk which
represents people who work reasonable
hours for reasonable wages as ''work-
ing cattle for greedy capitalists, is
harmful and calculated to breed dis
content where no cause for it exists.
After the evening lecture an assembly
of X. of L. was formed with member
ship, it is said, of about twenty. Those
who wished to join were invited TO re-
main. They afterwards adjourned to
the Wagner House, but being unable to
secure a vacant room large enough, they
repaired to the Teller Office and effected
an organization.

The general interest in the German elections,

hampers upon speculation to-day, and the mar
